Material

Made of fine (19,5 mic.) mulesing-free 100% Merino wool, nature’s own magical elf material. It has a seamless double-layer construction. Thanks to the seamless construction, the mittens are soft and very pleasant to use. The airy double-layer keeps the fingers warm without being sweaty.

Merino wool is fully organic wool that comes from a certain species of sheep. In case you are wondering, mulesing-free means that the profits aren’t ripped from the sheep’s ass. In other words, this is more ethical.

Why do we yammer about this Merino stuff when people have done just fine with the regular wool for ages? First of all, Merino wool has all the best properties of wool. It is moisture-wicking, breathable, and keeps you warm even when wet.

In addition, it retains more warmth for the same bulk. And it feels really nice against your skin. If the old school wool itches and scratches like some cult-friendly hair shirt, this is the stuff you want. The only negative thing is a bit higher price tag. However, when you look at the properties, the quality and where these are made, it isn’t that bad at all.
